Cyclamen ‘Fantasia’® Mix Care Guide

Cyclamen ‘Fantasia’® Mix is a compact, colourful variety of the popular cyclamen, prized for its vivid blooms, patterned petals, and attractive marbled foliage. A reliable choice for adding splashes of colour to autumn and winter displays, these plants are perfect for pots, baskets, and shaded spots where brightness is most needed. With simple care, ‘Fantasia’® cyclamen will flower for months and bring cheerful charm to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Planting & Position

Choosing the right spot ensures healthy growth and long-lasting flowers.

• Light requirements:

  • Indoors: Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch leaves.

  • Outdoors: Ideal in partial shade, protected from strong midday sun.

• Temperature:

  • Prefers cooler conditions (10–18°C).

  • Avoid placing near radiators, heaters, or draughts indoors.

• Soil & compost:

  • Use a free-draining, humus-rich compost.

  • For pots, a good-quality multipurpose compost with added grit is perfect.

• Planting tips:

  • When potting, keep the tuber just above soil level to prevent rot.

  • Space plants 10–15 cm apart for a compact, colourful display.

• Seasonal best:

  • Plant in autumn for winter flowers, lasting until early spring.

Care & Maintenance

Cyclamen ‘Fantasia’® Mix is easy to care for with a few key practices.

• Watering:

  • Water when the soil feels dry to the touch.

  • Avoid waterlogging—empty saucers after watering.

  • Water from below where possible (standing the pot in water for 10–15 minutes), keeping the tuber and crown dry to prevent rot.

• Feeding:

  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during flowering.

  • Reduce feeding as blooms fade.

• Deadheading & grooming:

  • Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves by gently twisting stems at the base.

  • This encourages more blooms and keeps the plant tidy.

• Dormancy:

  • After flowering, plants naturally go dormant.

  • Allow leaves to die back, reduce watering, and store tubers in a cool, dry place.

  • Repot and restart growth in late summer or early autumn.

• Pests & problems:

  • Watch for vine weevils in outdoor displays.

  • Indoors, aphids and botrytis (grey mould) can appear if conditions are too damp.

  • Ensure good air circulation to reduce fungal problems.

Design Uses & Seasonal Interest

Cyclamen ‘Fantasia’® Mix is a versatile and decorative choice for seasonal planting.

• Containers & pots:

  • Excellent for patio pots, window boxes, and table-top planters.

  • Pairs beautifully with trailing ivy, heathers, and miniature conifers.

• Indoors:

  • Brings vibrant colour to cool, bright rooms during the winter months.

  • Perfect as a cheerful gift plant.

• Borders & bedding:

  • Ideal for underplanting shrubs or filling shaded borders with seasonal colour.

• Colour impact:

  • The ‘Fantasia’® Mix includes shades of pink, red, and white, often with striking bicolour effects.

  • Marbled green leaves add extra texture and interest.

• Seasonal appeal:

  • Provides colour and freshness when many other plants are dormant.

  • Blooms from autumn right through winter, lifting dull days with vibrant charm.

In summary: Cyclamen ‘Fantasia’® Mix is a bright, compact, and reliable choice for autumn and winter colour.
